How's it going at school~

I had a chat with Molly yesterday before school

and I asked her what her favorite thing about

kindergarten was...

She said "riding the bus!"

I love this girl!

Cayden is so excited everyday,

asking Mommy, "Is tomorrow the day I go to school?"

He is delighting all his teachers and aides~ he is Mr. Personality!

On the last two school days, Mommy and Daddy have had to get on the 

bus and WAKE him up to get off the bus!

Sarah says school is "Great"...

But she was more interested in telling me she has

started a "Bike Club"

" We will ride our bikes one mile, that's 20 times around my garage

Meme, we will do it in 5 minutes and we all will

have notebooks and pencils to keep track of our times!"

Don't you just love her?  She listed all the friends she is

inviting, including her sister "of course" and told

me the first day will be this Saturday!

What a fun CLUB to be a part of!

Maybe I should join?

A new blog...

Kelley and Tegan are writing letters to start a journal for 

their sweet baby girl!  Kelley is "borrowing" this idea from

Beckie~ and it's a good one!

The new blog link is

Monday's Memories~

Tegan...

North Olmsted Hockey League days!

Cayden's Big Day!

Someone got on the bus today...

We hope his teachers take good care of him!

Bridget said he was so excited to go~ he jumped on the bus

and said,

 'bye-bye!  I will miss you Mommy and Mya!"

Bri tells me when she got home Mya sat at the counter to color

but kept looking at the front window.  Every time she a car would come she

would get all excited and say

"Here Cayden comes"

Of course I say... Video it for me.  But Mya hates the phone camera. 

Just watch her...

I love her little voice saying

"I don't know"

and 

"Quack, Quack, Quack!"

 

Once she knows the phone is on... game over.

Check out her face at the end of this one!

Priceless!

So many changes...

Here's Cayden...

He is ready to go meet his teacher, Miss Rachel.

He starts school on Thursday~ he will be going 3 days a week.

Full days. He will ride a bus.

He is so excited.

Mommy is feeling nervous and worried ~ she realizes she won't 

be there to watch him and keep him safe from fractures.

I can understand her and Cyle's concerns for their little man who has

been fracture free for almost 2 years!  I reminded Bridget about

how incredibly smart this guy is... and we are all hoping 

he will remember to be careful all the while he runs and plays with

his new friends!  Broken bones do heal~ should they happen, but

we are all praying for a fracture free school year!

Someone else is feeling a little worried too...

Beckie put her baby girl Molly on the school bus to

Kindergarten today!

She gave Molly all she needs for her first day too!

Molly is READY~

Sarah was ready yesterday

and had her first day already but was

happy to pose again this morning!

Beckie's girls~

Sarah is very protective of her little sister!

See what I mean...

She was giving her advice all the way to the bus stop!

Molly was all smiles~

Meme and her big girl gems~

Mommy is going to miss her baby girl.

Big milestone for Beckie here today~

My friends and I used to have bloody marys on the tree lawn when our last

ones were off to kindergarten!!

Beckie reminds her about her heart...

Here comes the bus!

No sign of tears from Molly as her sister

takes her to the bus!

Not the case for Beckie though~

but her friends are whisking her off to Cedar Point

for the day to keep her mind off the fact her last one just 

went off to school.  Wahoo!

My Kelley also started school!  Back to college for her!

Online classes so she can be home with her sweet Laylabug!

Have fun at school everyone!

Meet your teacher night!

Sarah and Molly were excited to go to

"Meet the Teacher Night" at their school!

Sarah looks very protective of her little sister!

Molly looks like she is BURSTING with happiness

to be going to Kindergarten!

Beckie took all these photos with her phone and 

sent them to me!  Thanks for sharing them!

Sarah has Mrs. Kovach this year.

She tells me that Mrs. Kovach is a

"Smiley" teacher!

Mrs. Kovach will love having my Rosie in her class

this year!

Molly has Mrs. Dalton this year.

Molly is so excited about this school year!

She does get quiet and shy... notice the hand wringing going on

in this picture!

Mrs. Dalton will love having my Brown Eyed Girl in her class!

I woke early to call Sarah this morning to wish her

a happy first day!  Beckie sent these pictures my way...

Sarah looks ready for Grade 2!

Her Mommy posed this photo on Facebook and said...

"She has everything she needs for grade 2. I can't 

wait to hear about her first day!"

She does have all she needs! 

Little Levi is having another great day with his Nana and Papa!

So is Wyatt!

Tomorrow I will head out Beckie's way to witness the 

morning routine as our Molly gets on the bus with

her sister for the first time!

Where does the time go?

"Eat, Drink, and Be Married..."

When Mandy and Mike's wedding invite came,

the back was stamped

"Eat, Drink and Be Married"

I knew it would be a fun affair for sure!

Deb, once again, was asked to do the flowers

because she is so great at it!

Kathy, Mandy and Deb picked flowers at Costco and placed 

the order.  Kathy and Deb picked up the flowers on Friday

morning and came right to Dave's wood shop!

Deb got busy making the bouquets for the wedding party

and she set me up to help with the centerpieces.

The gerber daisies matched the invitation to a tee!

We worked all day long...

We were both so happy to be helping Mandy

make her dream wedding come true!

Their venue was so unique.

A restaurant/bar in the area closed for the day...just for Mandy,

and they put up a tent in their parking lot that is right along side 

their patio~ Cocktails on the patio and in the bar, dinner in the

tent, then dancing inside!

Mandy's nieces Grace and Riley were the flower girls!

Their daddy Blake helped them get ready!

Papa Gary offers some advice~

But his sweet girls are READY!

Mike awaits his bride!

My good friend Kathy looked so beautiful!

Mother of the Bride

Mandy's friend Wendy was pretty as a picture!

Laurie, the flower girls mommy, was 

lovely as well!

Blake starts off with his girl Riley~

Grace is ready to go on her own!

Here comes the Bride~

Mandy was so beautiful and radiant!

Smiling when her eyes met Mike's!

A kiss for his baby girl!

She looks like she is in good hands!

"You may kiss your bride"

One happy couple!

Gray and Kathy with Grace!

Kathy and I pose at an arms length!

I love this girl!

Rick and Janice~

A special hug between friends!

I always love a picture with my favorite Big Guy, Jim!

Kathy does too!

But HIS Kathy loves it best!

The bride and her dad~

Love this!

Mike and Mandy

Mr. and Mrs.

Thanks Mandy and Mike~

I had a fabulous time at your wedding.

I missed Dave, who had a previous commitment on an Oregon

golf course!  I know he was sorry to miss this party!

Hey, how about my dark hair?

Yikes~ I am still getting used to it but

I have to say that I am having a hard time

recognizing myself in the mirror!
